I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.
I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.
I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.
One of the problems with media these days is that the audience expects instant news and analysis. Extra points ($$$) if the headline is outrageous. The old adage "think before you speak" isn't honored, neither is fact-checking nor truth.
Talk yourself out of the biggest letdown you've ever felt.?
In the Christian environment there are teachings about getting help from Jesus with burdens. Over the last 70 years I have had a lot of let downs.
I know that learning how to live inside the Christian experience and learning to listen, to the Lord, helps fight depression, anxiety caused by life’s battles, understand why things happen as they do, and live through the things we do not understand yet. God does not make bad things happen, people do.
One of the greatest treasures God shovels into our brain pockets is knowledge and understanding.
Sometimes, he just stays our hand until the understanding is incorporated into our lives. Sometimes, he just lets mankind muddle along.
If you think I am talking myself into something you’re wrong. I’m in tandem with a teacher who will all ways know more than I can absorb.
It is an active relationship. You can not just sleep away your life and expect to gain.
Think of the teachings of Yoda.
I am reading a book with a copyright of 1879. In one place, the author talks about how long it takes a religion to die. The ones that exclaim one God never really die. They evolve and extemporize, with the learning curve, within the centuries.
